ACTIVITY:
When you hear the music, wiggle, jiggle, squirm, shake and fidget as fast as you can. Gradually slow down as the music gets slower. When the music stops, freeze and hold whatever shape your body is in.
Children can start by wiggling individual body parts and progress to wiggling the whole body. The teacher can give cues such as: "Wiggle just your hands ... Now wiggle just your feet ... Wiggle your shoulders ...
Find another part of your body you can wiggle ... Can you wiggle two parts at once? ... Now let me see you wiggle your whole body."
